-ea at Bar IIarbor, which came with full force
into the hafbor where all the men-of-war and
yachts were at anchor. so strong was the
wind that most Of the vessels and quite a num-
Der Of yachts were Obliged TO let 90 second
anchor to keep from dragging other crafts,
several dragging out Of position, among them
the Yacht Yokohama. which dragged in among
The shoals, in spite of every effort TO keep her
in deep water. The waves were breaking over
her. and il began to look a though there
would be nothing left Of the boat, she was
pounding quite heavily. and was broadside on
the beach. The heavy rain and mist shut the
Yacht out from view, and her dangerous posi-
ton was not discovered for some little time.
When word reached the flagship Richmond OF
the peril in which the Yokohama was, the
steam launch Of that vessel. heavy aud pow

him that you will take him somewhere

Then the doctor addressed the boy,
who was just recovering from fever,
saying;
"Come, Micky, cheer up my boy.
wouldn't you like to go and play tag
with your playmates?"
A faint smile stole over the boys
face, but that was all.

These little states have had "his-
tory" in abundance. They have often
been afflicted with civil wars, and have
also been often aroused, by jealousies,
to conflicts with each other. They
have been too prone to initiate, in these
respects, their larger neighbor, Mex
leo. 1t may be that now that they see
the far greater blessings of concord and
mutual cooperation, a brighter era is
in store for them. They are so nearly
our own neighbors. and they have so
many industrial interests in comm on
with us, that our cordial good wishes
will attend their effort to put an end
to the period of strife, and to dwell to-
gether in amity. In order to attain
this end. it is altogether probable that
the five republics will soon adopt the
federative form, leaving each one still
independent in dealing with its own
affairs, and establishing a common ex-
ecutive and congress for purposes of
mutual defense and well-being. Such
result will certainly tend to insure
greater liberty and prosperity to each
and all of them. Youths Companion.

The Federation About to Be Formed Be

| There is strong tendency in on
day, among the more enlightened ma
tions. not only to approach towar
those republican institutions which tn
people of the United States enjoy, bu
to adopt some form of union, or fede

Is, moreover, an active and growing
movement to form the Kingdoms and
colonies of the British Empire into s
vast federation, each to have its own
local legislature to make local laws
and regulations, and the Imperial Par
Lament to deal with objects common

A somewhat similar plan is proposed
to be carried out by the five turbulent

dependent government. One or two
attempts have been made since then to
re-unite these little republics. The last
was that OF Barrios. who was for many
years Dictator of Guatemala, and who
lost his life in the attempt But now a
renewed effort, peaceabe in its nature
has been made, and a treaty has al
ready been accepted, forming q more
intimate tie between these republics
than has existed since 1889. This treaty
provides that perpetual peace shall
exist between the republics; that all
differences shall be arranged; and that,
in the event of this proving impossi-
BILE, such differences shall be submitted
to arbitration.
The example of greater and more en-

DANGEROUS WIRES.
Inc Principal Cause of Fires In Telesra,
and Telephone Offices

The Principal Cause of Fires In Telegraph
and Telephone Offices.
"How do the fires behind the switch
boards in telegraph and telephon,
offices originated" City Electrician
Barrett was asked recently.
"By the electric spark passing from
one wire to another and igniting the
cotton covering, which has become
frayed by use," he replied.
us it possible to prevent these
firesP'
'Yes. A lead-covered wire can be
used, and all damage of fire avoided. f"
Then why don't the tclc graph COM
ranics use that kind of wirco"
Because it costs about four times as
much as the other"
what causes the electric spark to
pass from one wire to anotherp''
1.-The spark or current always seeks
the shortest route to the ground, and
where two wires are close together, as
wires always are in large swichboards
the current will leave the one which is
the farthest from the ground for tho
other
"Howdoes this cause Il firc?'
1.-The cotton covers of the wires arc
generally soaked in parallinc, but as
tins evaporates it leaves the cotton
perfectly dry and inhammable. Con.
slant use wears the cotton and leaves
the wire exposed, and us the electric
spark jumps from one wire to the 9th
Ell 1t ignites the cotton. AS there are
generally great many wires with
the frayed cotton hanging from their
ends only a slight spark will ignite
them all, and in moment there is
big blaze behind, which unless cxtin.
gulshed at once, communicates TO t,e
board itself, which is generally of
wool. This, of course, gives the fire
a start, and after that you know as
much about what happens as any one
else. "-Chica9o Tribune.
